Obviously not. If doctors can't take care of their patients within a normal working day, the answer is to have more doctors rather than make the existing ones work unsustainably long hours.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI wasn't suggesting that we do so, I was pointing out the absurdity of saying that not doing something for social benefit is the same as harming Society
- whakim 4y agoYou stated categorically that "society and legislators should only forbid harmful action" rather than "compelling helpful action" and then chose a particularly nonsensical example of "compelling helpful action" to prove your point. There are plenty of (much more realistic) examples of "compelling helpful action" which don't lead to "absurd conclusions."
- s1artibartfast 4y agoYes, I think it is a categorical truth. Yes, I chose an extreme and absurd example to illustrate the point. I said as much in the post. I agree that there are many realistic examples of compelling action. If you provide some I would probably disagree that the government should be doing them.
